If this works, this will be a photo of a "sistership" to my rowboat:

If it doesn't work, well, it didn't work.

The boats are made by Empacher. There are many models, sizes,
variations, and they are made for single rowers and crews. The boats are
successful in competition, but I'm not into that except informally.

I bought mine used. It was a year old.

That looks just a mite tippy...


I remember running the lines of one of those in my program once and once
the guys are in the seats, it doesn't look that bad but I will leave
that commentary to the OP..



It's not unlike a canoe, but worse. Once you are plopped down into the
seat, reasonable fore and aft movement is ok, but if you overdo side to
side movement, into the drink you may go.


I will take your word for it, I have never been in one. I ran the lines
on a hull design program and it confirmed your suggestion that once you
get down in the thing, it's "OK"...
